Exclusive: more conflicts of interest exposed in the SPFL…

 Article by: Robbie

Dave is either a very very clever man or all part of the master plan?? Or a just very very lucky man!!  No matter, in the end game this breaking story just throws fuel on the fire.

Every day this week just keeps giving, corruption just seems to be absolutely everywhere from top to bottom.

Is King that really that good to swing all this to come out at the same time???

Dear God I hope So!!!

“Independent News and Media has lost its High Court challenge to a decision by the State’s corporate watchdog to apply to have inspectors appointed to the company.

INM had argued that it should have been given an opportunity to respond to the Director of Corporate Enforcement’s concerns before he made the decision.

This morning Mr Justice Seamus Noonan dismissed the judicial review, saying the argument that INM should have been consulted first is “novel and without precedent”.

The ODCE began its investigations into INM after a whistleblower made a protected disclosure in November 2016 claiming wrongdoing in the company.

Over a year later, the Director of Corporate Enforcement made an application to the High Court for the appointment of inspectors to investigate INM but that application was adjourned while the company took a judicial review over the decision to have inspectors appointed.

INM said the decision by the director to ask the court to appoint inspectors was very significant and had immediate, serious consequences.

The court was told that the application could damage INM’s reputation, business and shareholder value.

Lawyers for INM said the decision was a bolt out of the blue as the company had been engaging with an investigation by the ODCE for more than a year.

INM had been “unaware” that 19 people may have had their data accessed by a third party.  

The court heard invoices for the interrogation of INM’s servers were paid for by a company beneficially owned by businessman Denis O’Brien, INM’s largest shareholder.

The court was told the Director of Corporate Enforcement decided to make the application for inspectors following an investigation into protected disclosures from former INM CEO Robert Pitt, and from Chief Financial Officer, Ryan Preston.

In a sworn document, the director said he was concerned about the range of potentially unlawful conduct that may have taken place within the company.

Lawyers for the director said INM’s arguments were false, absurd and an illusion and the case was “unstateable”.

They claimed INM wanted to be notified so issues could be whittled down before they went to court, because there were “matters it would prefer the public did not hear”.

In his judgement today, Mr Justice Seamus Noonan said “every party exposed to litigation suffers to a greater or lesser extent damage in the form of inconvenience and expense”.

He said the law cannot take account of such damage as it is the unavoidable conseqence of the administration of justice in public.

Mr Justice Noonan said the ODCE is engaged in a two stage process, the first of which involves the preliminary investigation and information gathering exercise and the second is the court application for the appointment of inspectors.

He said INM’s lawyers said all that was required was a brief statement of the reasons for the application and a few days to give a response.

Mr Justice Noonan said it is difficult to accept that in reality this would occur and most likely would have results in a lengthy, complex and costly procedures “akin to quasi criminal trials held entirely in private”.

He dismissed the judicial review and adjourned the case for a week to allow both sides to study the judgement.

A date for hearing the application by the ODCE to have inspectors appointed is expected to be set by Mr Justice Peter Kelly next Wednesday.”

In short, yet more dirt on SPFL chiefs and their vested interests elsewhere. It’s all coming out in the wash now…

  1. In what way does this judgement assist King in his endeavours against SPFL duplicity with Celtic minded individuals. I'm interested, but that dim I can't spot the link.

    • David

      I think the point of the article is that someone appointed to SFA did not declare that he was taking a job at a company run by the effective owner of Celtic FC.

      If there was no intent to deceive, did he declare to SFA and they to members that company was owned by Dermot? Or just name of company and no disclosure?

      If latter, then news that said company is being investigated is of relevance to SFA. No inference of guilt, but adding to a picture of incompetence and a lack of clarity.

      Let the disinfectant of investigation wash over them all, cleansing the SFA of its coterie of Rangers haters
      Let's go!

    • It was reported in the media at the time that he took the job so if he was trying to hide it then he did a pretty poor job! This is such a non story created by King to deflect away from his own inadequacies…

  2. The whole thing has been infiltrated by those who are from one side who seek to defame and destroy all things Rangers …Power to David King and Glasgow Rangers …

  3. YES WHAT ABOUT THE AREAS THAT SURROUND CELTIC PARK YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THEY HAVE ONLY FOCUSED ON REJUVINATING THE ONE AREA OF GLASGOW SCOTLAND CORRUPT TO THE CORE THE EVIDENCE IS THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB HAVE CLEARLY BENEFITED WE KNOW WHAT PARTY RUNS SCOTLAND ,LOVE TO SEE US PLAY DOWN SOUTH ,LEAVE SCOTTISH FOOTBALL DIE .ABOUT TIME ENGLISH HELPED GERS OUT AS WERE BRITISH ,OTHER MOB GET PLENTY HELP FROM IRISH , ITS BACKFIRED ON S,F,A TREATING US INNOCENT RANGERS FANS LIKE SHITE THEY HAVE DESTROYED HISTORY SCOTTISH FOOTBALL ENGLISH WILL NOT TAKE CELTIC THEY ARE NOT BRITISH ,LETS GO AFTER WE WIN 55, R,T,I,D

  5. Stevie1 you are either ill informed or being less than candid, the work carried out around Parkhead was done in conjunction with Glasgow DC run by the very British Unionist Party, Scottish Labour.
    Furthermore huge British Union supporters like Michael Kelly, Dr John Reid, Brian Wilson all as British to the core as the Green Brigade and the Union of Bears have excerted undue influence over actions to benefit CFC .I know it is uncomfortable reality some of our support find unpalatable however CFC its Board and a huge chunk of its support are as British Unionist as anyone in the Sandy Jardine Stand.
    So at least lay the blame where it should be same as the tax case witch hunt against our club cane while Dr Reid was a member of Her Majesty’s Government It is ok if you believe in coincidences.
    It seems to the non partisan eye as if the Big Tax Case was in fact more Friendky Fire than anything else British Tax Man attacking Rangers FC no other club.

    • SEEMS I THREW A WEE SPANNER IN THE WORKS I DONT GO ALONG WITH 80 PERCENT WITH WHAT YOU SAY YOUR SAYING RANGERS GET TREATED SAME AS ALL SCOTTISH CLUBS UNDER S,F,A NO CHANCE

    • Can ye no read. Rod didn't even mention the sfa. What he was countering was your belief that celtic have benefited because of nationalists in the Scottish government. Where in fact it's the british unionist parties that have been aiding them.

    • GAV I CAN READ THE END OF THE DAY CORRUPT SCOTLAND THEY ARE ALL TOGETHER CHEATING ON ALL LEVELS THATS MY POINT YOUR A BIG BHOY OPEN YOUR EYES

    • Am no bhoy. But going by yer ranting, paranoia and excessive use of capital letters i think you could do with a bit of professional help

  6. Stevie, I am a Rangers supporter but I recall the area around the Emirates Stadium and Celtic Park was renovated to accommodate the Athletes' Village for the 2014 Commonwealth Games. You could argue that the decision to select this deprived areas was politically motivatef.

  7. The whole thing has been infiltrated by those who are from one side who seek to defame and destroy all things Rangers …Power to David King and Glasgow Rangers …

  8. Stop being stupid stevie1!!They are British,not Irish. We need to worry about ourselves and stop writing and talking about them all the time. This is a Gers page NOT Celtic ya muppets!

  9. Yawn. Move on, King is embarrassing us. Remember "no one likes us WE DONT CARE" so please stop harping on about stuff like this Dave. Let's do talking on the pitch…

    • Are you for real we have put up with bullshit for 6 fukin year without any MF actually standing up for the Fans and The Glasgow Rangers.

      FOLLOW FOLLOW.

  10. Now if I’ve got this right INM know there is some information kicking about somewhere that might put them in the shitter – don’t want the Public at large to know…

    Now I wonder what the fuck that info might be? Could it be emails & tape recordings or such like?? The games a foot Mr Holmes #LetsGo 🔴⚪️🔵

  11. It’s all unravelling now. It raises a lot of questions about Desmond’s influence and his other interests which I’m sure will come under the spotlight.

    While it seems INM poor governance is replicated at the SPFL.

    King will be noting this and rightly so.

  12. Evert time Mr K speaks there is a motive, this current crap has all to do with one thing, deflection from himself, clock is ticking, Mr K will be gone in a year, but our club hopefully wont, just depends in how bad things get with our shambolic finances (nothing to do with courts and tax cases, just the current shambles), ask Dave, but you wont get an answer. J

    • Exactly. This is a diversion tactic. Why did Paul Murray (finance guy) resign? Maybe he can see another financial crash coming…? Talk to us about finances Dave, we really need to know where money is coming from…

      Remember, whatever you think of SFA, SPFL, they can't beat us on the pitch. 55 will be even sweeter…!!

    • OF COURSE THERES A MOTIVE EVERY TIME MR KING SPEAKS GET OFF THE GUYS BACK AND START SUPPORTING HIM THE GUY HAS WORKED WONDERS AT OUR CLUB GETTING RID OF THOSE THIEVING BASTARDS SICK LISTING TO WHERES HIS 30 MILLION CRAP OUR CLUB IS NOW STARTING TO STAND UP FINANCIALLY BY ITS SELF SEASON TICKETS ,SHIRT DEALS, HOPEFULLY WEE RUN IN EUROPE AND WE WILL BE ON A SOUND FOOTING ,MR KING TOOK OVER OUR CLUB BY ANY MEANS HE KNEW HE MIGHT HAVE TOLD A WEE PORKY OR 2 THANK FUCK HE DID SAVE US FROM THE OTHER MOB ,ONLY FOR THE LOVE HE HAD FOR THE CLUB ,NOW WEE HAVE NEW MANAGER I RECKON WE WILL HAVE A NEW TEAM THAT WILL RIVAL ANYTHING THAT HAS GONE BEFORE ,EXCEPT 72 TEAM STOP MOANING AND ENJOY THE FAMOUS GLASGOW RANGERS

  13. I really hope this isn't just for the papers and King takes the legal route and take them out one by one. Talk is cheap, we need action as those vegetation uplifters won't go down without a fight! So come on Mr King, put your lawyer where your mouth is and weed them out!!!
